"After she rolled the car she got out of that car, and apparently tried to steal a car from an innocent bystander who had stopped to help during the collision," Trooper Webb said. "The only reason she was not able to take that car is the person had taken the keys out of the car."

The woman was arrested and booked on suspicion of reckless driving, hit-and-run, and attempted auto theft.

She sustained only minor injuries. The driver of the van also escaped serious injury.

Troopers say the van was brand new and especially equipped to accommodate disabled veterans. The driver had just dropped off a passenger shortly before the accident.

Officers say the van appears to be totaled, a loss of about $80,000. They believe it is the property of the Veterans Administration.
